First time at Chaplin 3 tables of 2 people in the restaurant- it was early evening- service should have been 5 star was 2 at best. Ordered Filet medium was medium well. I was 1/3 into the dinner before the waiter came over to ask if ok, told him it was medium well not enjoying it. He says I'll tell the kitchen my response is don't bother I'm already eating it. Other person at the table ordered steak that came with watercress salad. Watercress was very bitter and chewy -could not eat it. Music was loud almost to point of not hearing the person at your table. Not a great experience

Burger was good, pesto risotto was good. Steak tartare was different than I've had at other steakhouses. Tartare was chunky, did not appear to be quail egg and way over done with mustard seeds. Ribeye was ok but way over priced for this cut of beef. Servers and owner were very attentive and friendly.

We ate outside, which may not have been a good idea because the outside traffic was really loud. The service was very slow not specifically the waitress but the length of time it took for drinks and our food specifically. We had one app and three entrées and one drink each as well as coffee and we were there for 4 hours. The food was good. The pricing was fair.

We have been here a few times. The meal is always good and the service is always excellent.

I recently dined at Chaplin, and what an extraordinary experience it was! From the moment we walked in, the floral and vibrant ambiance set the perfect tone for lunch. The restaurant was impeccably clean, which only added to the overall enjoyment.
Our waiter, David, was fantastic. His recommendations were spot-on, especially when it came to drinks. He suggested a delightful drink combination of dill, cucumber, and gin, expertly crafted by bartender Anastasiia. It was a complex cocktail that tasted absolutely amazing, showcasing her incredible skills behind the bar. The flavors blended beautifully!
For food, we started with the oysters and the beet salad, both of which were out of this world! I was so impressed by the beets that I ordered a second order to take home—trust me, you don't want to miss out on them! Our main course was the pappardelle veggie pasta special, which was also delicious and bursting with flavor.
This was our first visit to Chaplin, and they truly nailed every aspect of our dining experience. It was clear that the staff, especially David and Anastasiia, are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about their guests. If you are unhappy, they will correct it and they aim to please. I found Jeffs review below to be unreasonable especially after my experience and Im glad I saw through it to give this place a chance. He could've simply asked for the salt and pepper and it was clear he did not. After an item was removed from the bill, the restaurant is trying to make it right yet he still had a chip on his shoulder-some people cant be pleased no matter what. I for one, can't recommend this restaurant enough and will definitely be returning for a second visit. If you are like me, wondering which place to dine in the area, pick this one. This place is a true culinary Gem. Thanks for the great Dining experience David!

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve been to our server David was fantastic from every dish he recommended. Anastasia is a fabulous mixologist. Her drinks were spot on!! Highly recommend this restaurant 10+

Service is great, but the audacity of the chef to not put salt and pepper on the tables and they cannot make a decently seasoned steak or potato is unforgivable. I've never had a steak beg for seasoned as I ate it, but they were able to pull it off... shit quality rib eye that I would bet any amount of money is NOT actually a rib eye at all but a lower cut that resembles a rib eye. Overpriced arrogant and flavorless is the best description of this place.
My fiancé and I decided to sneak in one last date night before getting hitched—our “final engaged supper” (cue the dramatic music 🎬💍). We desperately needed a break from wedding planning, and this place totally delivered. We had David as our server, and he was an absolute gem! He was fun, charming, and super attentive. He made the evening feel extra special. We started with the beef tartare (I think that's what it was, but whatever it was it was amazing), the warm sourdough with garlic confit and other dreamy dips, and the octopus appetizer, which was cooked perfectly. When it came to drinks, we told David what kinds we liked, and he gave us spot-on recommendations. It felt like he read our minds. For the main course, I had the duck which was so flavorful, and David, if you're reading this, thank you for the laugh with the “quack quack” on the to-go box 😂. My fiancé went with the bolognese. It was really well done, but he admitted he wasn't quite in the mood for it and had a little food FOMO. All in all, it was such a fun, relaxing evening. Great food, great vibes, and truly top-notch service. We'll definitely be back maybe for our first married date night 😉

Food and service amazing! We stopped in for happy hour and ended up staying for dinner! We ordered their burger, chicken cutlet appetizer and the linguini and clams...all seasoned perfectly, flavors on point. Great selection of wines too! Will return soon👍
